Black Belts On The Mat EVERY Class!

Yes, unlike other schools, we actually have black belts on the mat training with you and instructing every single MMA class, both in BJJ and in our striking programs Muay Thai Kickboxing, and even kids! We want to help every single student reach their potential. Some other schools lose focus of providing great martial arts, and instead focus on making money as their primary goal. Unfortunately for students, this leads to watered-down training. Fight and Fitness MMA does not believe in watering down anything. We do martial arts the way it was meant to be…

A Dedicated Martial Arts Training Academy with Very Experienced Instructors

I highly recommend Fight Fitness MMA. My son gains more confidence every day. It gives him a place to learn a skill and challenge him daily to be better while learning life skills. The weekly word of the week is an important part as he learns to be humble and understand that learning how to fight is a responsibility and at times is better to walk away and speak your mind rather than react physically.
